What Giri didn’t realize was that Durant, stooped in the Hugo Boss dressing room, had overheard his queries and began playing a game of his own creation, sending Tony to post from locations, following Giri from shop to shop in two trench coats stacked on top of each other, and asking if the clerks had seen any overly… Read more

I know that the picture is of the players shaking hands AFTER the match, but it still reminds me of a lion playing with its prey before eating it. Read more
I’m just imagining Joe Harris at home reading this and being, like, “Hey, guys, why didn’t you call? I also like clubs.” Read more

There’s always been this outside noise that says ‘If Giannis adds a 3 point shot, he’d be unstoppable’, and I’m over here like ‘fuck that, guy needs a midrange jumper’. A wet midrange makes him unstoppable. So many times in this playoff run he’d barrel into a wall and try to dunk, fail, get stripped, etc. The guy is 7… Read more
I hate when I’m the commissioner of the league preparing for an exciting conclusion to another successful season, and some superfan has a hard time calibrating sometimes exactly where that line is, and as a result there have been conversations that’s taken place to tell him to calibrate the line. Like, I'm trying to… Read more
